Future planned activities. Besides is going to be sent in following days the AIDMA´s publication Flash Tecnológico 2014 – Febrary 2015, a summary of 2014 technical new and advances with several references to Woodrub project). AIDIMA has developed these dissemination activities with their own resources as part of its commitment with the LIFE program and plans to follow with them in a future:

� Explanations of the project to visitors, professionals and students

� Contact with wooden and furniture companies to introduce the new materials

into the market.

� Also during the realization of other dissemination events (workshops and trade

Fairs) AIDIMA will follow their dissemination.

Other kind of activities would need some additional funding, but AIDIMA is looking for that to follow the development of recycled panels. Examples of new actions in a near future are:

� FIMMA-MADERALIA-HABITAT 2015 Trade Fair.

Manuel Belanche, from AIDIMA will present Woodrub outcomes in the workshop

“Nuevos Materiales y sus aplicaciones: Materiales Inteligentes, funcionales y

sostenibles” with the presentation “Materiales compuestos en el hábitat”

(Composite materials in the habitat).

aplicaciones-materiales-inteligentes-funcionales-y-sostenibles/?instance_id=530

See attached programe.

� It is planned to write two technical articles in next years to be published in

sectorial media and/or scientific journals.

� AIDIMA has received a proposal of potential collaboration with the Polytechnic

University of Valencia. Dr.Manuel Lecuona is responsible of Dept. of Drawing at

the School of Design Engineering, specialized in research and management of

design. The proposal is under consideration and would consist in the production

by AIDIMA of Woodrub materials to be used by the design students in their

product development projects.

AUTH-LFU presented their results on woodrub bricks, after the end of the project, in the COST Action FP1303 International Conference, in Slovenia, 23-24 October 2014, as shown below: Adamopoulos, S., Voulgaridis, E. and C. Passialis. 2014. Gypsum-based bricks (WoodRub BRICKS) manufactured from recovered wood and rubber. Poster presented at the 1st Conference of COST Action FP1303: Performance and maintenance of biobased building materials influencing the life cycle and LCA, 23-24 October, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Book of abstracts, p. 33-34 (see attachmed pdf).

Future planned activities. The Partner AUTH-LFU is going to continue the research work on Woodrub bricks in order to improve their properties and to forward them to a pilot plant production. These future activities are going to include:

1. Preparation of a paper with our results on the experimental Woodrub bricks to be published in international scientific journal.

2. Contacts with companies of recycling paper or rubber that are interested to re-use their by-products (textile materials from rubber recycling companies, recycling and re-use paper residues) for production of bricks for interior structures.

a. We have already visit a rubber recycling company (Retire A.B.E.E., Drama, GR) which is interested to re-use the textile material produced from the rubber recycling processes.

3. Planning of our research work: Use of textile material, as it is produced from rubber

recycling companies before and after sieve screening in order to use fractions > 4 mm and <4 mm, in three proportions (10%, 20% and 30% by weight) with gypsum, to produce experimental bricks for interior purposes. Use, also, of small paper particles (4 mm X 18 mm) from newspapers, in three proportions (10%, 20% and 30% by weight) with gypsum. Assessment of mechanical and other properties of the products (bricks).

4. Financing of research work: There is a need of financing the above mentioned research work and to buy some laboratory equipment. We try to submit research proposals on national level and to collaborate with rubber/paper recycling companies to provide the necessary experimental material and to support our research.

KERIDIS Future planned activities. Keridis will collaborate with AUTH-LFU in further dissemination events, and will keep their

contact with ETRA and client companies offering them information on alternative applications

of materials and products containing the recovered rubber granulate that they produce.

BRUNEL Activities done from the project end date. After-Life communication plan from Brunel University will mainly include:

1. Brunel project team will continue to disseminate the ‘Woodrub’ outcomes/results, without extra costs from EU, to national and international relevant events. For example, Brunel has so far presented some of the extended ‘Woodrub’ results to following international conferences: i) 34th Annual Cement and Concrete Science Conference, 14 -16 September

2014, Sheffield, United Kingdom; ii) Structure, Materials and Construction Engineering Conference (CONST

ENG’14), 20 – 22 November 2014, DAKAM-Istanbul, Turkey; iii) 8th International Conference on Materials Science and Technology (MSAT-8),

15 - 16 December 2014, Bangkok, Thailand.

2. The next international dissemination will be for the Professor Fan to present some of ‘Woodrub’ outcomes to the 23rd International Conference on COMPOSITES/NANO ENGINEERING (ICCE-23) on July 12-18, 2015 Chengdu, China.

3. Brunel is currently considering using the rubber and wood wastes for the extended

application for construction products. Some of the knowledge/experience developed in ‘Woodrub’project is to be used for the new EU project, such as ‘RubWPC’.

4. Brunel is also working with a leading UK company (Ecodek) on WPC to consider using waste wood and rubber as the raw materials for their products.

Future planned activities.

1. Brunel plan to publish at least 2 scientific papers on rubber-wood composites in next 2 years to international scientific journals, such to extend the impact of the ‘Woodrub’ project outcomes across the world.

2. Brunel will continue to exchange the ‘Woodrub’ project outcomes to the relevant rubber and wood wastes companies, make them aware of potential utilisation of these waste as raw materials for construction applications, and the technologies for converting the wastes as value added products.

COSMOB Activities done from the project end date. � Fair for innovators held in Civitanova (Marche Region) June, 2014. See attached pdf.

� Dissemination event held in Udine November,2014. Giovanni Tossi from COSMOB spokes

about WoodRub Project. See attached programme. The innovation conference was organized by Federlegno, the Italian association of stakeholders of the wood-furniture sector. See link of the event' site explaining that WoodRub was selected among other ideas about new materials and other, thanks to its innovative aspects. The public target was composed by about 200 people belonging to the most famous Italian companies producing furniture and wood-based panels, beyond policy makers and journalists. http://www.federlegnoarredo.it/it/federazione/eventi/forum-dell-innovazione-del-legno-arredo/2014/elevator-pitch-le-10-innovazioni
